DISEASES OF GOATS, DOGS, AND CATS 659 



Now, therefore, I, JAMES WILSON, under authority conferred 

 by section 2 of the act of Congress approved February 2, 1903 (33 

 Stat., 791), do hereby order, and notice is hereby given to the own- 

 ers, officers, and agents of all steamers and other vessels of all descrip- 

 tions, plying between any foreign country, except the countries of 

 North America, and the United States or the Territories thereof, and 

 to all stockmen and all other persons concerned in any way or 

 manner in the importation of, or traffic in, collies, shepherd, or sneep 

 dogs, that all such dogs entering the United States or the Territories 

 thereof shall be subjected to quarantine for a period not to exceed two 

 weeks, or until it can be determined by inspection or examination by 

 an inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry, as to whether such 

 dogs are the hosts of T&nia ccenurus. In the event it is found by 

 such inspection or examination that such animals are so infected, 

 they must be medically treated under the supervision of an inspector 

 of the Bureau of Animal Industry and held in quarantine until it 

 can be definitely determined that they are free from such infection 

 before being allowed to be imported into the United States or to 

 mingle with sheep or other live stock in the United States. 



The ports of entry for such dogs are limited to the ports desig- 

 nated in the regulations of this Department for the entry of animala 

 which are subject to both inspection and quarantine, viz: On the Air 

 lantic seaboard, Boston, Mass. ; New York, N. Y. ; and Baltimore, Md. 

 On the Pacific seaboard, San Francisco and San Diego, Cal., and 

 Port Townsend, Wash. 



This order will take effect immediately and will continue in 

 force until otherwise ordered. 



JAMES WILSON, 

 Secretary of Agriculture.
